. . . it's been a long time coming . . .

. . . but ~ conference weekend

seemed to be as good a time as any

to finally finish hand stitching the binding . . .

. . . and, as always, i obsessed

and used every last scrap

to make the back . . .

. . . sometimes a "name" doesn't come easily . . .

. . . this was the best i could come up with . . .

. . . giving credit where credit is due . . .

. . . and the big reveal . . .

. . . cloudy days in arizona

usually mean windy days . . .

. . . hence the "ruffly" edged photos . . .
